Search: Starring Isaach de Bankole

A past shines through another layer of the past into a silver screen present that is both familiar and brand-new.

Although displaying much of the barbed wit of his first film, this is a more measured and moving work.

By focusing on the journey of how a spy becomes the Bond, James Bond we all know, the movie manages the impossible task of coping with all the baggage laid before it and reinvigorating our interest.

Pfeiffer’s delivery is fantastically inscrutable.

Forest Whitaker's presence is so forceful that you don't want to think about the absurdity of his character.

I suspect even Jarmusch’s most ardent fans will find longeurs.

Miami Vice is definitely style over substance.

It's largely in Jarmusch's preferred genre of tittering, offbeat comedy, though, and he conjures up some brilliant scenarios and characters.

As a rites-of-passage, it suffers too wide a time frame.
